Sri Lanka has a rich and diverse cultural heritage ranging from the pre-historic period to modern times. It consists of humble pre-historic cave dwellings to storied royal palaces, megalithic burials to gigantic stupas, ornamental ponds to man-made great tanks, gardens to panoramic landscapes, etc., which are rapidly disappearing from our land and are also not considered for protection. The properties with heritage values will be listed in ICOMOS Sri Lanka’s National Heritage List. Once the nominations are received by the ICOMOS Sri Lanka Secretariat, they will be evaluated by two committees. The Technical Evaluation Committee is appointed by the Council of ICOMOS Sri Lanka, and with their recommendations, the information shall be forwarded to the Scientific Committee, which is also appointed by the Council of ICOMOS Sri Lanka, whose task is to make the final recommendations to the Council of ICOMOS Sri Lanka regarding the nominations of heritage properties to be inscribed on the ICOMOS Sri Lanka National Heritage List.
